Alexandria Gazette - September 20, 1853 - On the 14th instant, at the residence of her father, in Prince William County, Va., Sally C. E., eldest daughter of F. A. Weedon, esq., in the 14th year of her age. The sweetness and amiability of her disposition, her frank and unaffected manners, the purity and loveliness of her character had endeared to her many friends, who deeply lament that one so young and fair should have been marked by the insatiable Archer. Btu it is our consolation to know with calm resignation, after an affecting and affectionate leave of relatives and friends, she met her fate in peace, with the assurance of a better life hereafter.
